No matter what I do, the browsers of my **Kali Linux VM** crash. I have tried **Firefox ESR** (**preinstalled**), **Firefox**, **Google Chrome**, and **Chromium**. In Firefox the whole browser crashes (max 1-2 mins after starting and using it) and on the chromium-based browsers only the Tabs crash, without any error message. When I start Firefox from the command line I receive this as error message, when it crashes:
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
8253
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child

I use **VirtualBox** and installed Kali Linux several times with these two options (each with the settings of the Documentation):
- Using Kali Linux prebuilt Virtual Machines
- Installing the Kali Linux with an image
In the VMs I also ran:
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and I checked the browser for updates. Furthermore, many clean installations didn't work.
Of course, I have tried to look up this issue. But I didn't find anything from the last few years.
My question is what am I missing? Why does the standard browser not work on a prebuilt Virtual Machine? And why are the others also crashing? Thank you for helping me!
